API changes

Examples

• For example, consider a 15-second video with 2x fast-forward applied to its entire length. The video plays at twice the normal speed. In this case, `getDuration` is 7.5 s. If `getCurrentTime` is 3.5 s, `getStreamDuration` is 15 s, and `getCurrentStreamTime` is 7 s.

• As another example, consider a 15-second video with 2x slow-motion applied to its entire length. In this case, `getDuration` is 30 s. If `getCurrentTime` is 10 s, `getStreamDuration` is 15 s, and `getCurrentStreamTime` is 5 s.

• As another example, consider a 15-second video with reverse playback applied to its entire length. In this case, `getDuration` is 15 s. If `getCurrentTime` is 6 s, `getStreamDuration` is 15 s, and `getCurrentStreamTime` is 9 s.

The preceding examples apply to effects on the entire video. For partial effects, such as partial speed adjustment and repeat, the values are calculated based on the same rules.

Others

Release notes

• New APIs for the time effect feature

  • (int)applyTimeFilter:(AliyunEffectTimeFilter *)filter。

  • (int)removeTimeFilter。

• The AliyunImporter class APIs are adjusted. The following three APIs are deprecated.

  • (void)addVideoWithPath:(NSString *)videoPath animDuration:(CGFloat)animDuration。

  • (void)addVideoWithPath:(NSString *)videoPath startTime:(CGFloat)startTime duration:(CGFloat)duration animDuration:(CGFloat)animDuration。

  • (NSString )addImage:(UIImage )image duration:(CGFloat)duration animDuration:(CGFloat)animDuration

    The new APIs work by creating an AliyunClip object.

• Playback status and API call adjustments: Version 3.6 handles app and page switching internally, which is a change from version 3.5. The details are as follows:

  The `(void)setActive` method is deprecated.

  Handling of `viewWillAppear` and `viewWillDisappear`: When `viewWillDisappear` is called, you do not need to call `stopEdit` to destroy the entire AliyunEdit object. Call `stop` to stop playback. Similarly, when `viewWillAppear` is called, call `play` to resume playback.

  Handling of app switching between background and foreground: When the app is sent to the background, the SDK stops playback or export. When the app returns to the foreground, playback resumes by default (or remains paused).

  Error handling: In version 3.6, if an error occurs during playback or export, the process stops. The error is returned through `playError` or `exportError`. You can handle the error as needed.

• New player APIs

  • (double)getStreamDuration; // Gets the original video stream duration in seconds.

  • (double)getCurrentStreamTime; // Gets the original video stream playback time in seconds.

• Watermarks

  • Deprecated API: (void)setWaterMark: frame.

  • New API: (void)setWaterMark:(AliyunEffect*)waterMark.

  • The ending slate watermark supports preview. You must call the `-(void)setTailWaterMark` API.

• Music API

  • Supports multi-channel audio streams and selecting a time range within the audio for playback. To add only one audio track, you can call the `remove` API. Example:

    AliyunEffectMusic *music = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path];
    [self.editor removeMusics];// Call this if you need only one audio track. 
    [self.editor applyMusic:music];

  • Supports selecting a time range within the music file for playback. Example:

    AliyunEffectMusicmusic = [[AliyunEffectMusic alloc] initWithFile:path];
    music.startTime = startTime; // The start time of the music itself.
    music.duration = duration; // The playback duration of the music itself.
    music.streamStartTime = streamStart[_player getStreamDuration]; // The start time of the music on the playback timeline.
    music.streamDuration = streamDuration * [_player getStreamDuration]; // The playback duration of the music on the playback timeline.
